…..we met late in August, 2004. On a matrimonial network. Was love at first sight (including ordered flowers at my door!!!)…..in one of his pictures he sent, I saw some Russian books, on a backround. I asked him……he was surprised by my insight. He said the picture was took at his former Russian girlfriend who seem not to let go easily their past relationship. We wrote each other for a while……..he decided to take a trip to Romania to get to know each other. I booked a room for us at hotel Caro, in Bucharest. I made a special order for two glasses, engraved them with our names. I bought also a bottle of wine. Was a journey of couple a days…..a weekend. During his trip, he gave me some phone numbers. One of his best friend and the other, of his former Russian girlfriend. By the end of the year, he extend a invitation for me to visit his country. He bought a plane ticket and send it to me. Shortly after, all the sudden, he changed his mind, asking me to sell the ticket and cancel the trip. I refused to do so and I called his friend, asking him if he could help me with the accomodation. He accepted with the only condition to have Harold’s approval. Harold agreed and on 24 of December I depart to Netherlands. Harold was waiting for me at the airport (red tulips, again!!). We went then to his place and love each other. During those couple of days I met some contractors in order to close some deals for the company I was hired. The guys, though, seem to start argue and I suspected that I was the subject of their arguing. I decided than to leave the country sooner was scheduled. Was around New Years Eve. By halv of January 2005, I got confirmed an unscheduled pregnancy. I called Harold told him about it. He refused the child on the spot. I insisted for a mutual resolution. He decided to come to Romania to discuse the issue. Was around his 43 anniversary, in February. This time, he stood at my place, in the studio I was living with my mother. I visit the doctor again and show him on the paper my four weeks confirmed pregnancy. He was strongly determined for me not to keep the baby.
He left with the same decision, even after we went to the Dutch Embassy in Bucharest. We kept correspondence for a short while, after the interruption of pregnancy with the idea of me getting a job in UK and continue our relationship. The situation, though, wasn’t the same and suspecting that he was still seing Katarina, I decided to call his “former” asking her if she knew that he was two times in Romania. She decline. I than put a stop to the whole connection with him. By the end of the year, I left Romania in order to get married in Norway. I used Harold’s friend e-mail address to thank him for his hospitality. He told Harold about this and I answer him that my life made a huge turn, asking him to drop everything related to me.p.s. envy – desire to have a quality, possession, or other desirable thing belonging to (someone else).
